cold feet/hands

[Guest guest]

I am interested in treating someone who has has lifelong cold feet and

hands. This is a family member and I suspect I am too close to see the

pattern! Maybe you all can help. He is a young man, 22, who was born

with blue extremities, otherwise perfectly healthy.Currently pushing

hard in life (work, school) and the pulses reflect(someehwat excess,

full). Tongue has thin white coat , slight St crack, red tip, maybe

very slightly swollen (this is from memory) or maybe a large tongue.He

is hungry and thisty, bowels sometimes slightlyloose after eating.

Geneeral demeanor is hot rather then cold, shen great, eyes bright,

temper avid but even. Any help very welcome!

Hi Being924,

 

A young man with vigorous health and only cold hands and feet with

blue tinge probably is OK if there is no disorders - no symptoms. I

would suggest not touching him at all. But if you think crack tongue,

red tip and maybe... is a problem and have fun with him ?

 

Excess-full pulses = healthy, robust. We have SI NI TANG for this

condition, but I would not play with this formula. If this does not

help, your family member may never trust you again. They are difficult

to convince. So, when we do it , we must do it right in the first

place -zero tolerance.

 

Let's ask ourselves why only hands and feet getting cold, not the

entire body ? Where is the warming energy ? Does it get trapped

somewhere? Or is it too weak or too slow to get to its destination?

 

Chest, 2 palms and 2 soles are 5 center. Center is the Heart.

Heart Qi is moving and pumping blood and the body fluid throughout the

body, but the extremities are too far. If the warm blood reach the

extremities , there will be no bluish or cold symptoms there.

 

If we think it is the Heart Qi problem. Ask for symptoms of

palpitation, nervousness, frightening , insomnia, dull mind ...???

If we think it is the fire-warming function. Which energy warms up the

entire body, or of 5 centers ?

 

I think of the Kid-Yang eventhough there were yang symptoms. Kid-Yang

" adrenalin, adrenal cortex, corticosteroids, or cortisone " .

Kid-yang is the pilot, the heater, and the Heart-fire... It helps the

Heart-fire to get stronger, spreading further.

Longlife cold hands and feet is the body constitution. Kid yin and

yang are the fundamentals, physical make up, the constitution.

 

I am not looking into Organ disfunctions, because there was none. I am

only looking into the warming function, and especially of the hands

and feet. I have seen these cases but only with elderly. I used to be

a geriatrist.

 

Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan is the best in this case if I am not making wrong

diagnosis ( 30 pills / 2x ). In a day or two you will see.

Dera Dr Nam , Thank you so much for your thoughtful reading of this case! I am

only a student now so this is REALLy helpful!? The K diagnosis is interesting as

this young man was born with one undescended testicle (descended easily on its

own in a few months). By?5 element thinking he is more in the Fire (first)

/Wood/Earth realms, so iIhadnt thought to look to K for basic treatment. What

needling might you suggest, if any?

Again , Im really appreciating your generous and very useful inputs here. Great

education!
